They will surely get more paying customers with that pricing (compared to MLG Arena), they'll have a live audience paying for the entrance and a high viewer count to show for their owners and sponsors. I am not(!) saying that they will make a bigger profit than Arena (because we just don't know) but it will certainly look and be better in the long run. ..and Arena is more of a side thing, a "bonus", than anything else. We can still watch the regular MLG for free (as far as I know), so it's not really fair to compare. And yet I just did, but still! :p | ||

Let's hope the open bracketers will be mostly foreign so things can be a little more balanced at the beginning. | ||

But as far as the paid part of this goes... it doesn't seem much better to me than MLG. I don't want to have to pay a subscription fee when I have no idea what I'll be getting over time. We don't know how many big events they will run or how often. You aren't just paying $5 for IPL4, it is $5 per month. So if you watch IPL4, and you don't really care to watch anything until IPL5 in 6 months you actually spent $30 for IPL4. So far it seems like they are trying to put out a lot of content which is great, and the per hour of content at $5 a month sounds like a good deal if they continue to and you like their little weekly shows. But personally, I don't watch a lot of the weekly stuff(to tape delayed for my taste, never any live) I just want the big live events. Can you cancel you subscription and re-up it only when the big events show up? I also hate subscription vs. one time fee because if I forget about it all the sudden I realize $5 a month has drained out of my account without even knowing it/remembering. Again, I'm fine with what they are charging but I just think it is funny that people are like, "SEE MLG YOU SHOULD LEARN IT IS JUST $5!!!!" when in reality this could end up costing $60 for the year and you have no idea what that $60 actually ends up getting you at this time in terms of major events. | ||

Important thing here is this , everyone can watch and everyone can pay if they want , this is how it should be ! You can suck a lot of money from viewers who have a stable life , who work or parents are/were rich , but most viewership is teens that bring more players and spectators , and they mostly cant afford to pay ! If PPV becomes the staple , i guess SC2 was never meant to be popular , maybe SC3 | ||

Lol. ............................. I'm sure most people are smart enough to cancel the subscription if there are no events going on. The fact that you base your argument on the idea that people won't cancel their subscription is also kind of odd. Also, I'm sure they'll allow you to cancel it. Also, it's not really another reason to hate MLG imo. I mean, they were apparently just testing and playing around with the idea but anyway, you'll probably have to wait until IPL 4 in order to judge the events. Personally, I didn't pay for/watch MLG arena. | ||

MLG would have got my money for 5$ / 8$ , but will never get a single cent for 20$ or 10$ ... We have so many tourneys for free , Ive watched almost 2 years of GSL for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE , but this year i paid them yearly subscription because i want to support them! (HQ is good too) I want to support MLG since i loved the 2 last MLGs , but this kind of PPV have what purpose ? spend 100k or more producing it , to give 26k $ in prizes ? This is wrong... Players are not slaves , wheres their share if they dont win ? They are not even getting watched by the fans neither live or at home because its PPV... Who would see WSOP with small prize pool , and PPV ? From my point of view , Poker is like e-sports , you cant see without knowledge of the game or something that attracts people ( $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ) | ||
